Mapbox Studio allows you get granular with map styles. The big upside is that you’ll have access to some of the most powerful style editing of any map maker. Learning Mapbox Studio is roughly equivalent to learning Adobe Photoshop or Premiere- you should expect that it will take some time. Styling is limited- you can't even change the red background on the header. Unfortunately you can’t customize the bar in any meaningful way- for example you’re stuck with the red color. Here’s another example: when maps are shared or embedded they automatically have this red bar (see below). You also can’t edit the modal.Īnd this is the downside of Google My Maps: there is limited style options. Unfortunately you can’t change the markers size or shape. Markers can be customized by choosing between preset icons or preset colors (though you actually can’t choose a custom marker color!). Using Google My Maps to measure the size of a park. You can even get square feet by drawing a polygon. It also includes an excellent tool for distance calculations and measurements. I find it especially useful for creating biking and walking routes:Īdding several routes as layers in Google Maps. Each of these are organized within layers. Google My Maps is best used for adding markers and creating custom routes (for driving, biking or walking) between these markers. Google My Maps has a bit of a learning curve but is a handy tool for creating routes, drawing polygons and taking measurements.
We wanted creating an online map to be as easy as it is to create a Microsoft Word document.
Our goal with Atlist was to make a tool that allowed anyone to create their own custom maps. So while I think it’s great, I am slightly biased.
Now I should mention: I’m a co-founder of Atlist. I’d suggest Atlist if you need a custom Google Map with multiple markers.
